SUMMARY:Know Your Rights Workshop for Dallas Parents and Students
DESCRIPTION:KNOW YOUR RIGHTS to receive a high-quality public education! \nTexas just passed a new law\, HB 674\, requiring schools to come up with a better approach to student misbehavior than suspensions for our youngest students. Pre-K through 2nd grade students across Texas will no longer be pushed out of school and put on the path to dropping out and landing in prison at such a young age. \nCome find out more at our FREE “KNOW YOUR RIGHTS” workshop for parents and students. We’re also proud to be teaming up with Disability Rights Texas and ACLU of Texas for this event. \nLearn how you can be an effective parent advocate for your child! \nFor more information and to reserve your spot\, please contact Empress Lindsey of Texas Organizing Project at (469) 203-0496 or mlindsey@organizetexas.org.

SUMMARY:Saturday Drop-In!
DESCRIPTION:In our recent survey\, folks let us know a couple of important things: \n1) They didn’t know how to get involved with TPI’s work\, and \n2) They weren’t involved because their friends weren’t involved. \nSo we are promoting Saturday Drop-In Day! as a way to get with friends or meet friends here to learn about how you can get involved! \nIf you want to meet folks for some food or for hanging out in Bishop Arts\, stop by here first for a bit! Or meet here and get something to eat downstairs at Bolsa or accross the street at Taqueria El Si Hay! Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters is down the street\, as well as many other places meet with your friends and other lovelies. \nIf on public transit\, buses 21\, 444\, and 542 stop right outside. If you want to volunteer and need bus passes\, we can provide day passes for any day you volunteer. \nThe past several months we have been swamped with our support work for incarcerated trans and queer persons\, but that is not all we do\, and if you would like to work in other areas\, we welcome that discussion about how to plug in! For more information about what we do\, see our Member Guide at this page: http://tpride.org/about/membership.php (direct link to just the guide here: http://tpride.org/about/_doc/memberGuide.pdf).

SUMMARY:The International Day of Al-Quds
DESCRIPTION:Confirmed Speakers: \n1. Abbas Hamideh – Co Founder of Al Awda\n___________________________________________________ \nA Call for Solidarity with Palestine and the World’s Oppressed \nThe International Day of Solidarity with Palestine comes at a time of intensified aggression by occupation forces and violence in the region. As conditions on the ground continue to deteriorate globally\, the situation is amongst the worst facing Palestinians since 1948.  \nAs a principle\, solidarity with the world’s oppressed provides a guiding light of how to navigate in an increasingly hostile\, complex and violent world. Every day in the corporate media – from Palestine to Iraq\, Syria\, Yemen\, Burma\, Ferguson and beyond\, we are bombarded with images of mass violence and those spewing hate against poor people and people of color. \nLet us create an alternative\, inclusive vision that is in solidarity with indigenous peoples and sovereignty rights globally\, that challenges settler colonial practices\, and violations of civil rights and military occupation and militarization\, including the criminalization\, mass incarceration and all forms of oppression and terrorism. \nTo remain silent in the face of injustice and violence that any and all people are subjected to\, is to side with the oppressor. \nCome join us and stand against injustice\, oppression\, terrorism\, Islamophobia\, rascism and hate.

SUMMARY:Prison Letter Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Interested in writing letters to incarcerated trans or gender nonconforming persons\, but need some guidance and encouragement? Want to write but not sure what to say? Or afraid that you might not know how to help someone advocate for their safety or healthcare needs? Or maybe you would rather write while in a social setting\, sharing space with friends and community? Then join us for the Prison Letter Writers Workshop! \nTPI’s Prison Services Committee writes letters to incarcerated trans persons\, but we wanted to provide additional opportunity to support our siblings behind the walls. If you want to learn and try writing someone\, maybe just a one-off letter of support and encouragement without committing to write more\, or see what it is like before committing\, this is a time to do that! \nWe’ll talk a little about our work overall with incarcerated persons and some of the individuals we are connected with. And we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have. \nIf you are interested in writing a letter or just learning about this work\, stop by around 6pm or later (we close about 9pm) and chat with others and consider writing a letter! \nAlso\, we are considering moving this to Saturday. If you would like to participate and a Saturday meeting would be better or worse for you\, let us know whether or not to move the time: nell@tpride.org.

SUMMARY:March to End Police Brutality
DESCRIPTION:In 1973\, Dallas police killed 12-year-old Santos Rodriguez and got away with it. Earlier this year\, Dallas-area police killed 15-year-old Jordan Edwards. We can’t have the same result\, and we can’t allow this to keep happening. There must be justice for Jordan\, and police brutality must end. \nJoin us this Saturday\, June 17\, in Dallas to show that Texans demand police accountability and an end to police violence against people of color. \nIf you live in Houston or San Antonio\, you can catch a ride on our buses for free! But you must reserve a seat here. bit.ly/bus2Dallas \nHouston Bus: Arrive at 6 a.m. at the TOP office (2404 Caroline St.)\nBus will depart promptly at 6:30 a.m. \nSan Antonio Bus: Arrive at 5:45 a.m. at the TOP office (700 S.

A principios de este año\, la policía del área de Dallas mató a Jordan Edwards\, de 15 años de edad. No podemos tener el mismo resultado\, y no podemos permitir que esto siga sucediendo. Debe haber justicia para Jordan\, y la brutalidad policial debe terminar. \nÚnase a nosotros este sábado\, 17 de junio\, en Dallas para mostrar que los tejanos exigemos la responsabilidad policial y el fin de la violencia policial contra las personas de color. \nSi usted vive en Houston o San Antonio\, puede ir en nuestros autobuses gratis!

SUMMARY:DSP Presents Juneteenth Weekend 2017
DESCRIPTION:Although similar to Black Pride Weekend\, Juneteenth Weekend is a staple in Dallas\, Texas celebrating the life\, love and culture of the Black LGBT community. This weekend of events is Dallas’ only LGBT celebration during National Pride Month\, the month of June as designated by President Barack Obama. Juneteenth weekend also focuses on the intersectionality of communities who identify as Black and LGBT and creates a space to affirm and celebrate both identities free of judgment\, stigma\, discrimination and shame. Because of the significance of Juneteenth in the State of Texas\, this weekend and festival has become larger than a celebration of individuals\, but in turn a celebration of the collective community with the cornerstone being the Black Family unit. The weekend of events includes Lunch-n-Learns\, social events\, unique club/bar nights\, and special celebrity guests with the cornerstone of the weekend being the Juneteenth Unity Festival on Saturday\, June 17\, 2017. \nThe Juneteenth Unity Festival and Concert is a multi-purpose event designed to celebrate the life\, love\, and culture of Dallas’ Black LGBT communities as well as create an avenue for awareness\, education and screenings for HIV\, HCV\, and HBV. Participants will be able to enjoy the vendors market which will showcase business and resources specific to the Black LGBT community including but not limited to local sexual health resources\, pharmaceutical companies\, LGBT-owned businesses\, and other businesses that cater to these communities. Additionally\, participants will enjoy the display of local\, regional\, and national LBGT and ally talent including live music performances\, dance\, creative expression\, and spoken-word/poetry. \nTentative Schedule: \nWednesday\, June 14\, 2017 \nPre-Juneteenth Party \nMarty’s LIVE \n4207 Maple Ave \nDallas\, TX 75219 \n10 PM-2AM \nThursday\, June 15\, 2017 \nTekilas \n10945 Composite Drive \nDallas\, TX 75220 \n11 PM-3 AM \nClub Babylon- After Hours \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n2 AM- 6 AM \nFriday\, June 16\, 2017 \nLunch and Learn \nMarriott Suite \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n12 PM- 2 PM \nJuneteenth Welcome Reception \nMarriott Suites \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n8 PM-11 PM \nMarty’s LIVE \n4207 Maple Ave \nDallas\, TX 75219 \n11 PM- 2 AM \nTekilas -(L)gbt \n10945 Composite Drive \nDallas\, TX 75220 \n11 PM-3 AM \nClub Babylon (After Hours) \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n2 AM- 6 AM \nSaturday\, June 17\, 2017 \nJuneteenth Unity Festival and Pool Party \nCedar Canyon Dude Ranch \nHouston School Rd. \nLancaster\, TX \n3 PM- 12 AM \nSaturday Night Mega Party \nTBA \n11 PM-3 AM \nPartyGirls Bad and Bougie Party (L)gbt \nMarriott Suites \n2493 North Stemmons Freeway \nDallas\, TX 75207 \n10 PM-2 AM \nClub Babylon- After Hours \nHarry Hines Blvd \nDallas\, TX \n12 AM- 4 AM \nSunday\, June 18\, 2017 \nJuneteenth Unity BBQ (Free) \nBachman Lake Park \nNorthwest Highway \nDallas\, TX \n3 PM-7 PM \nDTX King’s Pride Day Party \nTBA \n6 PM-10 PM \nUBE presents B.L.U.

SUMMARY:Saturday Drop-In!
DESCRIPTION:In our recent survey\, folks let us know a couple of important things: \n1) They didn’t know how to get involved with TPI’s work\, and \n2) They weren’t involved because their friends weren’t involved. \nSo we are promoting Saturday Drop-In Day! as a way to get with friends or meet friends here to learn about how you can get involved! \nIf you want to meet folks for some food or for hanging out in Bishop Arts\, stop by here first for a bit! Or meet here and get something to eat downstairs at Bolsa or accross the street at Taqueria El Si Hay! Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters is down the street\, as well as many other places meet with your friends and other lovelies. \nIf on public transit\, buses 21\, 444\, and 542 stop right outside. If you want to volunteer and need bus passes\, we can provide day passes for any day you volunteer. \nThe past several months we have been swamped with our support work for incarcerated trans and queer persons\, but that is not all we do\, and if you would like to work in other areas\, we welcome that discussion about how to plug in!
